Lukas 12
1 Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, saa at de traadte paa hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: „Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
In the mean time, when there was gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trampled one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket paa Tagene.
Therefore whatever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slaaet ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Ja, endog Haarene paa eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades.
And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 Men naar de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not anxious how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: „Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig.‟
And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Og han sagde til dem: „Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror paa, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod.‟
And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: „Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde baaret godt.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where to store my fruits?
18 Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods.
19 og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange Aar; slaa dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Daare! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til, som du har beredt?
But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Giver Agt paa Ravnene, at de hverken saa eller høste, og de have ikke Forraadskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
And which of you by being anxious can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest?
27 Giver Agt paa Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Klæder da Gud saaledes det Græs paa Marken, som i Dag staar og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
32 Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
Sell what ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
Let your loins be girt, and your lamps burning;
36 Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente paa deres Herre, naar han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, naar han kommer og banker paa, kunne lukke op for ham.
And ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
37 Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vaagne, naar han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gaa om og varte dem op.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det saaledes, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vaagede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all?
42 Og Herren sagde: „Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Truly I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: „Min Herre tøver med at komme‟ og saa begynder at slaa Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk;
46 da skal den Tjeners Herre komme paa den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have faa Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
But he that knew not, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled?
50 Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I constrained till it shall be accomplished!
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder.‟
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Men han sagde ogsaa til Skarerne: „Naar I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker saaledes.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
And when ye see the south wind blowing, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Thi medens du gaar hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid paa Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart from there, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
